i recently spent less than 24 hours in tijuana so what i experienced may simply be a snapshot and not representative on how it really is, day in day out.

---------------------------------------------------------

getting there:

it's easy, walk across the border or take a shuttle from the parking lots on the us side of the border.

money matters:

30usd = approx 400p. always negotiate/pay in pesos to take advantage of this exchange rate!

hotels:

i recently stayed at one of the streetgirl hotels and it was a bad mistake. the roaches, used condoms on the floor, dirty tissue, broken toilet, used needles are one thing, but when i discovered bed bugs, that was the last straw.

costs are about 200-250p for most flea bags in the callejon. the nice thing is, it's close to the sg action and they don't charge a guest fee unless you're at the cascades, and mini also charges if you're not friends with anyone at front desk.

i don't recommend the sg hotels in the alley. i do recommend leyva. it's relatively clean, safe and should cost about 230p w/o tv or parking.

eats:

i recommend the taco trunk at the northeast corner of coahuilla and constitucion and also a small hole in the wall on ninos heroes between coahuila and callejon coahuilla. the food is cheap and amazing. i recommend breakfast at the eatery on ninos heroes.

safety:

over the years, i've had about 4 mugging attempts and luckily managed to get out of all of them. this occured at night mainly up on ninos heroes and articulo 123. the time of year that the streets are the most dangerous are around x-mas when it's cold and many of the chicas leave the zona to go home. at this time, there is less influx on money so corrupt cops and muggers are out in full force.

fast foward to nowadays, summer of 2009. with all the bad publicity mexico has endured (drug wars, swine flu, passport to re-enter the us), it's no surprise that the influx of cash has diminished significantly throughout tijuana. the once famous revolucion is now pretty deserted. rateros (thieves) are looking for another source of income and are heading to the zona for some action, and with the police station that was situated at the mouth of the alley now closed, it's open season on unsuspecting visitors!

as i walked the streets of la zona, i had countless streetgirls that i had know for years, suddenly warn me about the real threat of being choked out or knifed in high traffic areas of the zona. they advised me to have my back to the wall, and to take off my cheap plastic watch, stating that they've seen multiple instances of choke outs and guys being held up at knife point.

theses areas include:

revolucion: north of articulo123

consitucion: between coahuila and articulo 123

articulo123: between revolucion and av. e

ninos heroes: articulo 123 to points north.

and of course all the well know places like on coahuila, west of ninos heroes, the alley behind tropical, etc.

the recent spike in violence was also mentioned to me by a local mexical local friend of mine that visits the zona multiple times every week. in addition, early that evening i saw an older caucasian male was making a mugging report to the police, stating that he got choked out on constitucion! a week prior to my visit to tijuana, supposedly at least 3 guys got choked out on constitucion between coahuila and articulo123, and one guy even in callejon coahuila! despite all this, i saw many us based mongers walking around, carefree and nothing happened to them, so.

another thing. many of the sgs are afraid to take taxi libres these days. they tell me horror stories of [CodeWord123] and robbery by desperate taxi drivers and advise me never to sit in the front seat. i walked in from the border crossing and took a taxi libre the next morning without incident.

talent in tijuana:

the numbers are down everywhere but there is definately talent out and about. i saw perhaps the best looking girl i've ever seen in tropical while i was there. she seemed very pro, but she was a solid 8-9. blond hair, gorgeous face and what looked like a great body.

in hk there were at least 3-4 8s, and 1-2 9s!

in the alley, paola is back, so are the sisters at edwardo. but the best talent was in front of mini hotel. there is a blue eyed brunette with wavy hair there that looks like a av star named nikki dial, but younger and hotter! some other spinner rep001tered here and there.

gfe:

literally. got into the zona early evening and i cheated and called in an ex-puta that used to like me and give me freebies. she has long stopped working in the zona and quickly agreed to meet me. big eyed brunette with long hair, early 20s. long bbbj, with long cg/rcg to cp, then repeat with more positions. about 3 hours of non-stop sex. she wanted a couple more rounds, but i was drained and also had to go meet a friend for some drinks.

gfe2:

the next morning, walked along the alley looking for some of my favoritas. none were present, so i took the next best thing, the competition! found this avg-cute 18yo big-eyed dark skinned 5' spinner with nice b-cups. she informed me that xxxxx wasn't there today and that she'd like to give it a shot. i told her i got gf sex from my regular and expected nothing less. she agreed on 250p room included and really made an effort to please in la cama. bbbj avg to poor technique and light-moderate dfk. her only request was that i pull out. we fucked in many positions and at the end she was vigorously riding in cg, when i told her i was going to cum. she didn't seem to mind, but i pulled out anyways. later, she popped it back in to milk the last orgasmic contractions out of me. we both washed up in the sink afterwards.

conclusion:

la zona in tijuana is more dangerous now, no doubt. gfe is possible with some spanish, and the food is great. if you ever find yourself in sd, pop on down, just be more careful than normal and don't forget to bring your passport and use good street sense!

Just give them a 10 peso coin. It works.

A dollar bill works better.

[Sgt Perv]

Yes. exchange pesos fo dollar for dance tips. Cheaper than giving a twenty peso note.

This weekend being a 3 day holiday, I would say you may have some mental health issues. I plan to get an early start Saturday and stay at the Pueblo Amigos Hotel in Tijuana and not put up with the mod at the border crossing. They have a late check out and you can walk across the parking lot to Luxor Massage Parlor. I checked out Luxur and they have some 9s and 10s. I didn't doing any sampling, but I might be tempted this trip.

Mexicans are not stupid.

They all have pesos in their possession. They just know that they are worth far less than dollars. Do you honestly think that the Mexican National that lives in TJ, who gets paid wages in pesos, goes to the casa de cambio to exchange them for dollars before he goes to Adelitas? I agree it's not worth it to fight over a $5.00 taxi ride but for a $60/$600 pesos session you are talking about a $200 pesos difference.

Hey everyone,

I'm heading to TJ next week and I was thinking about staying at a hotel in TJ vs. heading back to SD at the end of the night.......................................

Anyhow, my question is - has anyone stayed the night there? Is it safe? Am I crazy for considering this?

[Sound7]

Individual language & cultural skills and skin factor is the next big variable for a 200 pesos benchmark. This is a very fluid quote of 200 pesos in TJ. Upgrade cost is a whole different matter and depends on many parameters.

TJ and BAs are not the same place or in language style and culture.
Currency was not a true cross-over to dollar as in TJ. In TJ local transport and TJ cultural agencies accept dollars for fare and entrance fee.

BAs taxis accept dollars but not at a fair exchange rate in some cases. Better to have local currency and use the meter.

It seems to me vitrea has a point. If you are going to get qouted in dollars then pesos would be a hassle. More than likely they will try to make up for any difference in currency fluctuations. Alot of times dollars are preferred because people save them until the exchange rates gets better. It would make sense to do this in mexico. Maybe not so in other countries.

If the SW prices are set in stone at 200 pesos then sure a better exchange rate would save money. However she would have to be a pretty dumb hooker not to know what US/Peso exchange rates are.

I was recently in argentina where the exchange rate was above 3 to 1...an excellent conversion. The local establishments raised there prices and so went the perks of above 3 to 1. Catching the wave at the right moment would be key. Maybe people in TJ are getting used to the new rates and are adjusting accordingly.

OK. One more time.

You DO NOT let them quote you in dollars. Period. You make them quote pesos and you pay in pesos. The bars have a fixed exchange rate, the girls do not. The max price for an arriba at a bar is currently 600 pesos. When the dollar was 10:1, paying $60 was easier. But the price is STILL 600 pesos.

If the girl wants to figure the exchange rates in her head, that's her problem. YOU pay in pesos and get the benefit. If you pay 800 pesos now, when the dollar drops back to 10:1, do you think the girl will then start accepting 600 pesos again? I don't think so. Whether or not the dollar is strong or weak is not her problem. Your problem is to take advantage of the current situation (the favorable exchange rate and the soft market). Negotiate in pesos and pay in pesos.

Some TJ Mexicans also use dollars in the bar and other locations. TJ is a cross-over when it come to currency but the good rate may be in dollars or pesos depending on the situation. Pesos is the safe bet if one can manage the Mexican coins.

It takes a bit of practice, but you will save money if you use pesos.
If a Mexican comes to the US, they pay in dollars, not pesos. If an American goes to Mexico, they should expect to pay in pesos.

[Pelongera]

Don't worry, I had problems keeping the price down when I converted to pesos.

The first girl I was with wanted drink, $10US and then for FS basically standing up in the back, $60. I should have said $50 the place was dead. I had to buy extra time because I hadn't come yet, total - $100US

I offered the next girl straight up 900 pesos for hour FS remote location. At the time 900 pesos was about $90. I ended up spending about 1100 pesos or about $130

So it didn't quite work as planned but being more diligent, I know I can make a $100-150 run and not go over that using Pesos only.

With anybody other than Mexicans they are use to dealing in dollars and believe the exchange is 10-1 though I'm sure there some smart chicas out there...

thank you for the honest, no-bull post on your numbers, DJ.

I believe that is the best sort of information we can share.

With the possible exception of doing business with the escort services where the prices are published, we mongers (like all consumers) are at a disadvantage when prices are in the dark because we do not know how well the provider will perform.

With honest numbers like yours, I can better track the going rate.
